I can't claim this as my own.... but I still found it amusing.

M&M Evolution theory

M&M's: The Theory of Evolution

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species.

To this end, I hold M&M duels.

Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger,I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.

I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theatre of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.

Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.

When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to: M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc. Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes."

I thought I was the only one who squished them that way...But I never did think of it as the "leader of the pack"

That's Right! I am agreed with this article just because the members of the family are usually the ones who get the first blow of the effects of alcoholism in an individual. As such, they should be the first one to tell whether or not a person needs professional treatment. However, doing this is not that simple at all. Now a days mostly youngesters are doing these kinds of things so we should think about it otherwise it may create a lot of problems for our coming generation. Great post i look forward to reading more!
